Background technique
Modern science and technology are more and more deep to the research of microscopic fields, come into high-precision nanometer, atomic weight
The epoch of grade.Micro- location technology is one of the core key technology of microscopic fields research, and state-of-art directly influences
The development level of microscopic fields technology, therefore the multiple degrees of freedom high-precision as the engineering application of micro- location technology
Just there is particularly important real research significance.Particularly, in litho machine field, the process node line width of photoetching is reached
22nm, and brilliant diameter of a circle further increases, it means that and the requirement to locating platform is increased, and motion platform is needed to reach
The positioning accuracy of Nano grade reaches the other movement travel range of hundreds of grades and requires motion platform fast response time.
There are mainly three types of modes for traditional contact high-precision: one, being driven using rotating servo motor, then
It is driven using precise ball screw;Two, linear motor direct drive is utilized;Three, Piezoelectric Ceramic is utilized.Using servo electricity
Machine drives and is current widely used plane motion positioning method using the locating platform of ball leading screw driving, but its
The disadvantage is that: include the middle transitions links such as shaft coupling, screw rod, bearing due to existing between motion platform and driving mechanism, increases
The inertia mass of positioning mechanism has large effect to the response frequency of system, and generated due to middle transition link
The factors such as friction, elastic deformation, reduce the positioning accuracy of system, and due to the shape of screw rod be it is elongated, in external force field
It can be deformed under the action of temperature field, further influence positioning accuracy.It is using the shortcomings that linear motor direct drive: by
Buffering link is not present in the intermediate link of system and there are corresponding end effects, so that the control difficulty of system increases,
And there is serious fever, system thrust offer deficiency, moving parts lightweight etc. as driving mechanism using linear motor to ask
Topic.And piezoelectric ceramic type precisely locating platform is widely used in the positioning system of Nano grade using piezoelectric ceramics as driving mechanism
In system, but the disadvantage is that movement travel is small, it is usually no more than 100 μm.Although being combined by coarse positioning with precision positioning
The movement travel of system can be improved in method, but also due to the introducing of stacked system reduces the positioning accuracy of system, so that positioning
Precision and movement travel range become a pair of intrinsic contradiction.
When the application field of high-precision is to its positioning accuracy, response speed, stroke range is proposed increasingly
When high requirement, the locating platform of conventional contact structure is difficult to meet the requirements, therefore uses contactless locating platform.Mesh
Preceding contactless locating platform mainly uses gas suspension platform, in gas suspension locating platform, due to not having object between element
Contact in reason, in the case where ignoring air damping, it is believed that do not have frictional force, and need not be used between platform and motor element
Lubricant is suitable for ultra-clean processing environment.But gas suspension platform inertia is larger and suspension support rigidity is lower, so that platform
Bearing capacity and impact resistance are lower, reduce the sensitivity and positioning accuracy of entire platform, and air-suspending positioning is flat
Platform can not be applied in vacuum environment.
Therefore, positioning accuracy height how is obtained, movement travel is big, and fast response time and mechanical structure are simple non-to be connect
Touch locating platform becomes the problem of those skilled in the art's urgent need to resolve.
